Posting photos...I know, I know...!

Posting photos...I know, I know...!

I know this has been done to death, but I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble using Win7 (32-bit) to upload photos here. I had a heck of a time uploading photos to TFL using XP, but (eventually) it worked beautifully with some excellent guidance...[Thanks again to those kind folks!]

I've now read just about every post on TFL with respect to this subject, but ZERO results...I could click that little "tree icon" until my mouse died, but it does nothing

Are my local security settings too high? Do I need to shut down my firewall? Am I "barred" by admin from posting photos as some sort of 'trouble-maker'? ;-)

I'm still finding my way around Win7, but have been around computers since the days of steam and can usually solve these problems by myself, but not this time! Any advice would be welcome

Why not use an image hosting site such as Photobucket? It doesn't care which OS you're using and you can edit, resize, add borders, text, and manipulate your photos at their site. They even provide the code to place in your post for a direct link to the image.

Resizing photos is not my problem. I still use the same program they would've used on Noah's Ark...'PaintShop Pro v5.1'! [It's up to v14 or so, now...] My photos are all within spec...

I've been messing with Picasa, PhotoBucket, FlickR, PhotoDehmo, etc, using both Mozilla & IE, but nothing helped...I've tried the HTML tricks, as I have all the photos stored in albums, with detailed captions, on several sites...

If the Chrome trick doesn't work, I'll just do a blurb on my blog and add a link to Picasa, I guess...to me, it looks like something on TFL is not co-operating. I'd even be happy to see an "Error" message, but nothing happens, ever, when I click the upload icon

I am no html expert, but I can see that the image icon calls a javascript routine.

This is what all the icons above the text box where I am typing this are. Do any of those work for you? If not, I would assume there is a problem within your browser (I am on XP with Firefox 3.6 and it works for me.). I don't know what you can do to debug such a problem. I do see that under TOOLS>OPTIONS>CONTENT menu that I have a box checked to Enable JavaScript so make sure you have that turned on.

I have Win7 64 and it works fine- although my first time was hard as the steps seemed confusing. Once that is figured out, it becomes easy...

Try with Internet Explorer rather than Firefox. I was using FF a lot and then it started crashing for unknown reasons. IE has worked fine for uploading - as others have said you have to resize the photos and Anna is spot on in her post... Hope it works...
